Marc-Andre Fleury Bio

When Fleury was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins with the No. 1 pick in the 2003 NHL Draft, he became the third goaltender in League history to be chosen first, joining Michel Plasse (Montreal Canadiens, 1968) and Rick DiPietro (New York Islanders, 2000).

Fleury lived up to the promise as an anchor for the Penguins' run of success that resulted in three Stanley Cup Final appearances and two championships. With ultra-quick reflexes and lateral mobility, Fleury assumed the No. 1 role during the 2005-06 season.

Fleury lived up to the promise as an anchor for the Penguins' run of success that resulted in three Stanley Cup Final appearances and two championships. With ultra-quick reflexes and lateral mobility, Fleury assumed the No. 1 role during the 2005-06 season.

Fleury already had a history of success, winning a silver medal with Canada in 2003 and 2004 at the IIHF World Junior Championship, and earning top goaltender honors in 2003. He was also named the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League Defensive Player of the Year and the top prospect in the QMJHL with Cape Breton in 2003.

He made his NHL debut at 18 on Oct. 10, 2003, with a 46-save performance in a 3-0 loss to the Los Angeles Kings; got his first NHL win Oct. 18, 2003, against the Detroit Red Wings; and had his first career shutout in a 1-0 victory against the Chicago Blackhawks on Oct. 30, 2003, all of which helped him earn Rookie of the Month honors for October. But after 21 appearances, Fleury was sent back to Cape Breton for the rest of the season.

By the time Fleury assumed the top job a month into the 2005-06 season, the Penguins had started to emerge as one of the top teams in the League. After leading the Penguins to the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2006-07, Fleury took them to the Stanley Cup Final the following season, posting a 1.97 goals-against average, three shutouts and .933 save percentage in 20 playoff games before Pittsburgh lost in six games to the Detroit Red Wings.

In 2008-09, Fleury again led the Penguins to the Stanley Cup Final, helping them rally from down 3-2 against the Red Wings by allowing a combined two goals in the final two games to help clinch the title.

The Penguins won the Stanley Cup again in the 2015-16 season but Fleury, diagnosed with his second concussion of the season April 1, did not play again in the regular season and saw action in two playoff games.

Fleury played 38 regular-season games in 2016-17 and was set to back up second-year goaltender Matt Murray in the playoffs until Murray was injured in warmups prior to the opening game on April 12. Fleury stepped in and helped the Penguins defeat the Columbus Blue Jackets in the first round and the Washington Capitals in the second round -- including a shutout in Game 7 -- before being replaced by Murray in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Ottawa Senators. Murray played the remainder of the playoffs and the Penguins won a second straight championship.

Fleury was selected by the Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft and had the best statistical season of his NHL career (29-13-4, 2.24 goals-against average .927 save percentage), helping Vegas set numerous League records for first-year teams. He went 12-3 in the first three rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, helping Vegas become the first expansion team since the 1967-68 St. Louis Blues to advance to the Cup Final.
